Abstract

Context.Historically, stellar model atmospheres with scaled solar abundances (for all elements heavier then helium) have been widely used for analysis of the atmospheres of chemically peculiar (CP) stars. However, in reality, atmospheres of CP stars demonstrate a variety of abundances, not necessarily scaled to the solar composition.
